Email program installation

hello jeff
W7 doesn't come an email client. MS wants us to use Live! But, you can install an email program if you want to.

If you have a copy of Microsoft Office that includes it, go with Outlook.
If you like to use open-source software or want more advanced features for free, go with Thunderbird.
If you want a simple, free program (with a pretty interface that matches Win7 well, I might add), go with Windows Live Mail.
